This gun shouldn't be confused with the one on the Chi-Ha Short Gun, while said Chi-Ha has a short gun meant for transport ships on anti submarine & close range fire range, the 12cm/45 10th Year was used as coastal emplacements and outfitted on early Japanese cruisers. It offers a high velocity gun to fling HE over the map with quite an ease.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- High velocity of the rounds
- Quick reload for a gun of it's size
- The C.P.(BF) combine the penetration of APHE and the splash-damage capability of HE. The explosion of a non-penetrating hit to a cupola can wreck the roof armor of a tank
- Versatile Chi-Ha chassis
- Quite fast (up to 44 km/h | 39 km/h), allowing it to get to certain spots in time
- Great turning ability in low gear
- Lovely climbing ability, Good to get in sniper locations
Cons:
- Gun shield is small and thin, doesn't provide too much cover
- Only one crew member is inside the tank
- Vehicle can be destroyed due low caliber MG fire even with full crew
- Two loader crew in the back of the tank have no direct cover
- 10 shells max
- Ammunition is very exposed, one lucky shot can destroy the vehicle
- Shells might have some trouble penetrating the front armor of some tanks, especially in uptiers
History
As the Chi-Ha was very structurally sound and is able to withstand high amounts of additional weights while maintaining stable stress-levels and speed. This made it a great testbed for heavier weapons and equipement.
One of these additions / variants was an IJN refit of the Chi-Ha to be made in a 12cm Self-propelled gun carrying the 12 cm/45 10th Year Naval Cannon outfitted on early cruisers before they were replaced by 127 mm's.
A dozen of these 12cm SPG's were constructed in defense of the homeland in-case of the high probable American invasion.
The gun was bolted on the hull and used similar to the Archer in performance, firing from the rear to maintain recoil levels while firing.
